These savvy pixelated hairstyles created by Holland-based design studio Elroy Klee use LEGO pieces to assemble fashionable wigs.
Titled ‘Mindplay: Bricks on Me,’ these building blocks, in the colors of black, blonde and red, take the forms of the afro, short crop and blonde layers. The photo shoot was completed as a project for an advertisement campaign. The custom-made wigs were constructed in portions before carefully fitted onto the models’ heads, where they required extreme balance on the models' part.
No more split ends with these wigs, nor the need for hairspray and anti-frizz products; however, one does have to worry about knocking into things. Mindplay: Bricks on Me by Elroy Klee takes beauty to the next level, using toys as its main tool.
